From Agaju Madugba, Katsina
Katsina State Governor Umar Dikko Radda, has congratulated President Ahmed Bola Tinubu over weekday’s verdict of the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal (PEPT).
The PEPT had affirmed Tinubu’s election after dismissing the appeals of the presidential candidates of the People’s Democratic Party and the Labour Party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and Mr. Peter Obi, respectively.
With the tribunal’s ruling, Radda noted that the cloud which hitherto hovered over the legitimacy of the President vanished, according to a statement by the Governor’s spokesperson, Ibrahim Kaula Mohammed.
According to Radda, “the verdict of the tribunal indeed has once again validated the genuine mandate citizens wholeheartedly gave you on February 25 as the pragmatic leader that our dear nation deserves at a time it was battling with a litany of socio-economic challenges.
“With the sound and convincing judgment given by the PEPT yesterday, I am sure the cloud hovering over the legitimacy of your election has instantly vanished.
“However, the task of building a greater and more prosperous Nigerian society under your visionary watch remains, and is still very much arduous, Sir.
“As such, I, on behalf of the people and government of Katsina State, again rejoice with you over your electoral victory at the PEPT and urge you to remain unwavering in your bid to change the appalling narrative of our beloved ‘Africa’s Giant’, like you have started doing via the pro-masses policies and programmes your government launched in the last 100 days.
“May Allah continue to endow you with His infinite mercies, grace and wisdom as you progressively lead Nigeria while He also makes our dear nation and its citizens enjoy the dividends of your inspirational leadership, in the next four years.”
